    Using two columns - one to represent other to plot

    So im stuck on this graphing problem.
    i have two columns:
    1) the frequency - the number of times the data point is there
    2) the value

    How would i plot the value (column 2) on the graph column 1 many times?

    This doesn't make all that much sense to me. Do you have a sample workbook and a little cleared explanation of what you are trying to achieve?

    Re: Using two columns - one to represent other to plot

    B1 = 75400000
    D1 = 95

    I do not see how this adds up. Please give me some more finite explanation

    Re: Using two columns - one to represent other to plot

    B1 = 75400000
    D1 = 95

    means the value 95 was found 75400000 times.
    So the x axis would be 1-n
    while the y axis would be column D with frequency column B
